vintage-handbagWhen it comes to the world of high fashion and style, a quality handbag can cost you anywhere from the thousands, to the hundreds of thousands. This is why it is so important to make the right decision. More often than not, there is only room in the budget for a couple of these bags, and you do not want to regret such an investment.

Designer Handbags: Keep Your Figure in Mind

A good handbag should not just be looked at as a short-term investment for your wardrobe, but rather a long-term investment for the legacy of your style. Speaking from experience, my grandmother left me dozens of vintage designer bags that are worth much more now than they were in the '70s. This is why it is so important to make the best decision possible. Not only can a quality bag be a great heirloom, it can also be a source of inspiration for your future kin.

One thing to keep in mind while on the hunt for the perfect purse is your body type. If you have a pear-shaped figure, it is best to choose something that draws the observer's eye upward, so the best option is something small with a short strap that can be tucked under the arm. For example, a Chanel chain purse.

If you have a more top-heavy figure, then the opposite is true and you should go for something larger with a longer strap that draws the eye downward. An excellent example would be a Louis Vuitton monogram messenger bag.

Those of you with long, slender frames should opt for a bulkier bag that adds dimension to your body. Miu Miu makes the best slouchy bags out there. If you have a fuller figure, then it would be best to wear a smaller, more subtle bag. Coach, Prada, and Kate Spade specialize in this area.
